Pretty damning review.

    If Linus knew he wasn’t going to recommend anyone buy the waterblock no matter how it performed, but also didn’t want to show it off as a niche ‘supercar’ of waterblocks, then why agree to review it at all? Was he maybe not in the loop at all until shooting the video?

    Seems like there was no good way for this to turn out for Billet which is a real shame since they seemed to just want to show off something cool and maybe get some publicity for their startup.

    And auctioning off their handmade prototype, even accidentally and for charity, is a collosal fuck up that really can’t be solved with money alone.

      Linus posted a response on the LTT forums:

      Thanks for sharing his side/comment here.

      Not that I agree with his defense (seems like allot of avoidance), but I am glad I could read it.
